Four (4) Crucial Starting Points

Summon Databases List

Journals/Journal Locator Subject Guides

For in-depth exploration of library print collections when a known “title” is sought >

the “Classic Catalog” can help.

SU Libraries Homepage -

http://library.syr.edu

Four (4) Crucial Starting Points

Summon – Search engine for most of SU Libraries’ collections and other resources beyond SU Libraries. Includes articles, books, journals, maps, sound recordings, archival materials, government documents and more

Databases List – A list of databases available through Syracuse University Libraries. Includes databases containing articles, images, data, and videos. Search for a database by title, subject area or content type

Journals/Journal Locator – A list of print and electronic journals, magazines, and newspapers available through Syracuse University Libraries. Search or browse by title, ISSN, or subject category

Subject Guides – Librarian created online portals to specific recommended databases and other sources, arranged by a set of major subject disciplines

Question by Question Guidance – the database tools you’ll use on Module 2:

2.1 – Note the option

to zoom into sets of data tables extracted from many of these full statistical report PDFs

Options for sorting, refining and narrowing results appear at left margin (or right margin) in many databases

2.1 –

A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT requiredin your APA citationfor this subscription database/

Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required.

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.1)– for List of ReferencesBureau of Transportation Statistics (Department of Transportation) (2014). Estimated National Emissions of Sulfur Dioxide [By Source, Selected Years, 1970-2013] (Page no. 302 Table no. 210). [Data file]. Retrieved from ProQuest Statistical Insight database– In text citation(Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2014)

2.2 –ProQuest …also used for Exercise 4.5

Select desired date range. Article (for Ex. 2.2) must have been published in past 6 months!

Use “Source Type” menu for limiting results to magazines or newspapers.

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.2)– for List of ReferencesReyes, E.A. & Walton, A. (2015, August 5). L.A. targets home storage of handguns; The move is part of a national shift toward local action on gun laws. Legal challenges expected. Los Angeles Times, p. A.1. Retrieved from ProQuest database– In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from this specific page)(Reyes & Walton, 2015, p. A.1)

A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT requiredin your APA citationfor this subscription database/Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required.

Book (for Ex. 2.3) must have been published in past 15 years!

2.3 – “SUMMON” search engine

library.syr.edu

Use “advancedsearch” for greater controlover search results

2.3

Reminder: Do not use an ebook for this exercise.

2.3

2.3You must make photocopies of the title page and the copyright page of the book you use.

Your SUID (the actual card) must appear on both of the photocopies.

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.3)– for List of ReferencesPedroni, T.C. (2007). Market movements: African American involvement in school voucher reform. New York: Routledge.

– In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from specific page range)

(Pedroni, 2007, pp. 100-101)

2.3Note: Citation formatting is different if you are quoting from a separately authored chapter within an edited book. See the PAF 101 Module 2 APA Guide for further guidance

2.4 – Catalog of U.S. Government Publicationshttp://catalog.gpo.gov

2.4 –

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.4)– for List of ReferencesEnding the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office.– In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014)*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

Citing U.S. governmentpublications can bevery challenging because no single standard exists

2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Citation Formatting Examples

Lawyers and law students often refer to the “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”; not recommended for those working outside that legal context

The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is helpful, but the older publication date means it will be weaker in guidance for government publications located online

In addition to PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide (via Penn State U.) - for more examples of U.S. Government Publication citation formatting – consider:

Cheney, D. (2002). The complete guide to citing government information resources. Bethesda, MD: LexisNexis, Congressional Information Service {J 9.5 G37 2002, Bird Library – 3rd Floor – Government Reference (does not circulate)}

Brief Guide to Citing Government Publications. University Libraries, University of Memphis http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php (excellent!...except beware their example for citing publications with Congress as author (such as a U.S. Senate or U.S. House hearing) strays from the norm.If citing such hearings, examples on the previous and subsequent slides are preferred!

Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Libraries Subject Guidehttp://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357

2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications –Examples of variation when citing Congress vs. a non-Congressional agency

If a U.S. Senate (or U.S. House) hearing is what you cite, notice that the title of the hearing islisted first, where normally a personal or organizational author would be listed:

– for List of ReferencesEnding the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office.

– In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014)

*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

By contrast, the example you see at the PAF 101 APA guide via Penn State – for a situationwhere one is citing a report from a non-Congressional U.S. government agency - lists the name of the issuing agency as an organizational author:

– for List of ReferencesU.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. (2000). Breaking the cycle of domestic

violence: Know thefacts. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, 2000)

*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

2.5– U.S. Census Data

http://www.census.gov

“QuickFacts” will help you locate data needed for this exercise.http://quickfacts.census.gov

When viewing ‘quick fact’ data for your home state (& home town, city or county) – visit the tab called “USA QuickFacts” for national data.

2.5– U.S. Census Data http://www.census.gov

Within “QuickFacts,” the “Selection Map” for each state’s counties can help you locate a comparably sized area (within 25% of the population size) to your home town/city/county.

Best advice is to pick a format presented by one guide, matching “type(s)” of government documents you are citing, and stick with that as much as possible.
